if you look at flt and century its the same trans, I have no problems with century trans at all, I don't even know if its was there trans of the converter yet, if could of been the pump that went out, now 02denali had a problem with them but I do believe it was equal between the two.

not that century is bad but I have heard mixed comments about them.... and FLT has gotten real good reviews and havent heard of one busting yet...

 

kevin, your cent. trans did you do any of the upgrades available on the stage II?

 

like I said wont know untill monday what went wrong or broke, remember this trans is 1 year old with about 250 track passess and 30k mileage since it was installed.

 

I went back and looked at my paper work and I only had a stage 1 trans.

 

damn kevin, sorry to hear about the tranny issues.
hope you get it all worked out.
i guess i'll be next

 

thats quite a beating, im glad to hear one of their tran held up that well, what HP is their stuff supposed to be able to push? ill be looking forward on monday to hearing if it was the trans or the converter

 

the stage 1 is supposed to hold up to 450 rwhp and stage 2 700+ rwhp
